The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) says it has closed down its offices to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
This is as a result of residents on Monday from Olodo to Iyana Offa in Oyo State taking to the streets to protest against the continuous disconnection by IBEDC.
Protesters in their large numbers had stormed the IBEDC office located in Alabebe along Iwo-Olodo Road and obstructed free movement of vehicular activities.
Speaking with some of the protesters and reading the inscriptions on their banners and placards, it appears that these communities covering Adewumi, Trailer Park, Adeleye, Erunmu, Fatumo, Atari, Lalupon, Ejioku, Ile-Igbon, Iyana-Ofa, among others, have been disconnected for over five years with no hope of reconnection.
